  • Detecting Semantic Difference: a New Model Based on Knowledge and Collocational Association
    DETECTING SEMANTIC DIFFERENCE: A NEW MODEL BASED ON KNOWLEDGE AND COLLOCATIONAL ASSOCIATION Shiva Taslimipoor1, Gloria Corpas2, and Omid Rohanian1 1Research Group in Computational Linguistics, University of Wolverhampton, UK 2Research Group in Computational Linguistics, University of Wolverhampton, UK and University of Malaga, Spain {shiva.taslimi, omid.rohanian}@wlv.ac.uk [email protected] Abstract Semantic discrimination among concepts is a daily exercise for humans when using natural languages. For example, given the words, airplane and car, the word flying can easily be thought and used as an attribute to differentiate them. In this study, we propose a novel automatic approach to detect whether an attribute word represents the difference between two given words. We exploit a combination of knowledge-based and co- occurrence features (collocations) to capture the semantic difference between two words in relation to an attribute. The features are scores that are defined for each pair of words and an attribute, based on association measures, n-gram counts, word similarity, and Concept-Net relations. Based on these features we designed a system that run several experiments on a SemEval-2018 dataset. The experimental results indicate that the proposed model performs better, or at least comparable with, other systems evaluated on the same data for this task. Keywords: semantic difference · collocation · association measures · n-gram counts · word2vec · Concept-Net relations · semantic modelling. 1. INTRODUCTION Semantic modelling in natural language processing requires attending to both semantic similarity and difference. While similarity is well-researched in the community (Mihalcea & Hassan, 2017), the ability of systems in discriminating between words is an under-explored area (Krebs et al., 2018).
